3. To Study the Effects of Refractive Surgery on OCT Measurements in the Eye

   Corrective eye surgeries, such as Lasik, are widely used to correct focusing problems such as myopia, or nearsightedness. Often these patients develop other conditions like myopic maculopathy or glaucoma which require monitoring with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Since OCT is a light-based te…

6. A RCT of Spectacles With Aspherical Lenslets or 0.05% Atropine for Myopia Control

   To date, randomized trials of low-concentration atropine eyedrops and specially designed spectacle lenses to slow the progression of myopia are limited in number and results are inconsistent in non-Asian children. Although results of some recent randomized clinical trials outside the US are promisi…

10. Efficacy of Repeated Low-level Red-light Therapy in Myopia Control

    Low-level red-light technology provides a new and innovative myopia control approach. This strategy enables relatively high energies of light to be delivered at much shorter durations of exposure to induce the myopia control effect. The efficacy of the low-level red-light technology has been proven…
